PIO Mode IDE Programmed I/O mode. PIO programming also works with ATAPI
CD-ROM drives. The settings are Auto, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. Click on Auto to allow
AMIBIOS to automatically find the PIO mode that the IDE drive being configured
uses. If you select 0-5 you must make absolutely certain that you are selecting
the PIO mode supported by the IDE drive being configured.
#" BootSector Virus Protection
It is not exactly a virus protection. All it does is whenever your boot sector is
accessed for writing, it gives a warning to the screen allowing you to disable the
access or to continue. Extremely annoying if you use something like OS/2 Boot
Manager that needs to write to it. It is completely useless for SCSI or ESDI
(Enhanced Small Device Interface) drives as they use their own BIOS on the
controller. Disabled recommended. If you want virus protection, use a TSR
(Terminate and Stay Resident) virus detection (Norton, Central Point, etc...).
Scan by McAfee is also a good idea. Available on most FTP servers, it is
shareware.
